Welcome to the Other Irids Web,(under construction)

 Aristea  Tigridia .

Irid is short for Iridaceae. This section displays all the genera currently in the iridaceae. Iris is only one of the genera in this family. Some taxonomists separated the Genus Iris into other genera. Here is more information about the current state of iris taxonomy. Many plants are commonly called irises although taxonomists place them botanically in other genera. Re-classification is on-going. Some genera are now synonyms of others. The web attempts to remain current and will eventually include all descriptions. Those that are no longer accepted are listed as synonyms.
